A review by pbanditp
The House of Little Bones by Beverley Lee
5.0
“Regret took hold of his mind and shook it between merciless teeth”
This book took hold of my mind and shook me mercilessly. It took me a bit to write the review because even though I finished reading the book, I was not done with the book. More likely, the book was not done with me.
David is a famous writer and his indiscretions get him in deep trouble when he gets caught dating his best friends son, Luca. His best friend is also his book publisher. He is forced to get out of the spot light and escapes to a house called Bone Hollow on the Corpse Road by the locals.
Luca has premonitions that something is wrong and he can’t get in touch with David. David is dealing with his own paranormal problems as the old legend, the Bone Crone, has awakened and wants him off her land.
The positions we humans get ourselves into when we think we are infallible and invincible, and how quickly life changes. The House of Little Bones is about so much more than what is on the surface.
This is a sad tale of relationships between a father and son, between forbidden lovers, between best friends, and what happens when a vengeful spirit gets in the middle.
One of my favorite parts about this book is that David and Luca are obviously gay lovers and it does not make any difference. There is no hatred because of sexual preferences, no slang or insults. It is just about their love for each other and is only forbidden because the relationship with David’s best friend.
Also, I want more about the asylum. I bet there is a another book just about that place.
